Great hotel in the centre of china town! Yes the rooms are small and basic but they do come with a little balcony. Good for a base if you are out exploring. Right near the train station, market and hawker food centre.

First, the room was small and the en-suite cramped, but everything was clean, the staff very friendly and helpful. Buffet breakfast included fruit, cereal, hot dishes and eggs cooked to order. The hotel is located right in the centre of Chinatown with one side fronting ''Eat Street''. Great location, atmosphere and value for money, would consider returning in the future.

Great service. Room is small but works well. Although you can't get beside your bed, you have to get in from then end as there are walls on both sides. Shower is right next to the basin however wasn't really an issue. Pretty quiet at night and slept well although I did request a room on the top floor. Couldn't open windows or shutters so can't look outside. We were only sleeping there so didn't bother us. Probably wouldn't recommend for someone over 50 though as difficult to get into bed. However other rooms are probably ok.

Very old building in the heart of Singapore's Chinatown. Entrance hall decorated in red plush, nevertheless a respectable hotel. The rooms are very small, especially the shower in the bathroom is only suitable for slim persons. It's ok to stay here for a night or two. Good connection to public transport, only 10 minutes to walk to the next MRT station.

My room was extremely small and did not even have a proper bed...just a matress on the floor, which obviously is not the best you can get. Bathroom is also very small and needs a great technique to have a proper shower. The common area is not bad but breakfast is of low quality. Neverthless people working at the hotel are really nice and always happy to help. Two stars for these people only. Besides that I dont think I will ever return to this hotel.

Right in the middle of Chinatown, surrounded by on street stalls and a whole strip dedicated to street food. The hotel interior is bathed in red velvet, but from what seems like the 1950s - a bit worse for wear. Super basic amenities with self serve tea or instant coffee. The room was tiny, at only 10m squared, with only enough room for the double bed and bathroom, but for $100 a night, I can't complain!

Perfect budget accommodation right in the heart of China town, we stayed two nights before moving into KL. Its what we needed a shower and a bed. After long days exploring Singapore, we were happy to go back to China town, eat and then shower sleep. No complaints.

The Hotel is in the middle of China Town. Short way to Mrt and anything else. For Taxi from Airport use the entrance at Temple Street. ( 20 S$). The first room we became was not free. 2 half naked people laying in our bed. Second room was OK. Small Room with balcony. Room 335.The Bathroom is always wet after shower. Maybe they can put a squeegee (I hope it is the right word) inside, because it's very slippery. Housekeeping came every day for cleaning and towel changing. Rooms are very noisy. Need earplugs for sleeping well. Staff very friendly. For a short trip to Singapore OK.

Central location and unique decor. The rooms with the balconies are very noisy until 1pm from the busy street. Rooms are tiny not much space for luggage. Furniture is dated, needs an update. There is more practical ways to furnish such small rooms but these are not furnished very smart. No hand towel supplied.

My room had a balcony and that was the reason for the low rating...noise issue! It's terribly noisy since it faces the busy food street. When the stalls closed around 11 pm, then came the noise from bars and karaoke. Occasionally noisy drunkards and people chatting loudly to 5 am. There's a lot to like about this hotel, but with serious noise issue. I cannot recommend at all.

Nice room, very good location but 1. I found a live big cockroach in my room's toilet. The staff managed to clean it for me 2. The cleaner discarded my parent personal's toothbrush, toothpaste and soap from their room toilet

Architecture, heritage and culture during travel ranks high for me. The Opera House Hotel with a location and a price range suitable for our purpose was exciting. We were aware of the reviews - noise, room size, cleanliness issues were likely. We viewed these as acceptable risks which we prepared for. Staff were really gentle and kind, every single one. We had an aunt in a wheelchair visiting us and she was made very welcomed. There is no lift but the help they gave my aunt deserves 10-stars for kindness, effort and speed in solution. Our wine was stored in their fridge, taxis were booked for us, the cleaner was jolly. There is a coffee making stand and several separate common seating areas - perhaps it's an acknowledgement of their very small rooms and their offer to balance things out. We had a takeaway dinner, wine & snacks in the common seating area & staff would greet us when passing. The coffee tables need attention but creaky shutters, shabby old heritage details can be warm and homely. If untarnished perfectly new furniture, sleek lines, noiselessness, clockwork perfection is the preferred choice, there are so many alternatives in this city offering these. Of course the hotel is aware works, improvement & more focused cleaning is needed. I wonder if their mission is to set up the business to self-fund the development and preservation of an iconic building which is part of the history of a fast disappearing art, all on as simple as possible a set up to start with. I rate the place 4-stars and will return as it's a great cause and am excited at the prospect of it getting into slightly better shape.

Very old hotel, the rooms are very tiny and not very clean, to be honest. mattresses are from 30 years ago meaning they are very uncomfortable and you feel all the springs nailing your body. All the hotel area is extremely very cold, like 17° all time when outside is 36º, which get you sick in seconds. it's not well isolated at all and is very noisy. The air condition in the bedroom is super noisy and old and smell bad due to the filter have no been replaced ever. We had to ask for a room change, because they try to give us inferior quality category room than what we paid for. Also the toilet ceiling was falling apart in pieces, because of the humidity. It's well located and the reception look like nice. but the pictures they published on the booking websites, are like from 20 years ago. They must do many changes and refurbishments, to improve the hotel quality regarding to the prices you pay.
